Honoka's chair was beside Miyagi's due to how the chairs had been set up, and thus, when Miyagi sat down she could reach out to grab her hand. "You got a huge amount of votes," she said quietly. "You got almost five times the one you had last year. It's great."

"And finally, taking first place, with 8'442'411 votes, Team A, Takahashi Minami the 7th!"

Trying to compose herself, Takamina rose up, and headed over to the stage, accepting her trophy.

"Well," she said, "I honestly wasn't expecting this. The past two years, I've ranked high in the preliminaries, and both those years, I ranked 2nd in the final result. This yeah, I ranked 5th in the preliminaries, and while I acted as if though everything was fine during the announcement, I was really upset about it. I was disappointed in me. I was really happy for Akari and the others who ranked above me, but I was a bit bittersweet. Standing here today, with this trophy and this rank, with a higher vote count than I could ever imagine I'd get, has been a goal and dream of mine for a while, and it'll take a while for it to sink in. In all honesty, I don't think I am particularly deserving of it above anyone else in 00. Everyone is hardworking, and I honestly love everyone. Akarin won two years ago, Honoka won last year, and now it'll be my turn to stand at the top of 00. Thank you all for the amazing support you've all given me, the other members, as well as 00 as a whole. We broke a record, you guys! Thank you all so much." She paused, bowing to the audience. "And now, wile I have the chance, I want to issue a challenge. A challenge for each and every present and future member. I may be the one to hold this crown now, but I want all of you to chase it with all of your might. Hard work will always be rewarded."

She backed away from the mic, bowed once again and went over to the sole remaining seat, the elaborate throne, and sat down in it.
